I must respond to some of the misleading statements in Dr. Bob Allen’s article on the Clean Energy Act Dr. Allen combined and mixed up global warming, climate change and the Paris Accords while implying that humans are responsible for global warming.

First, the sample set used to identify “global warming” and forecast “climate change” is just too small to forecast anything with any confidence.

Doesn’t he remember that in the 1960s the big headline was that because of carbon monoxide we were headed for a new “Ice Age?”

Now, about the Paris Accord. Dr. Allen seems to have forgot to mention that Obama had promised billions of dollars to some one to do something to fight global warming.

That alone is reason to refuse to join the Paris accords. In addition, Dr. Allen forgot to mention that two of the biggest polluters, China and India, are not required to do anything for decades.

By the way, you should read the article.

He has some ideas about saving energy, lowering costs and lessening the use of fossil fuels. Just don’t expect to affect global warming.

Nearly all environmental scientists believe that climate change is a direct result of human action. Leaked documents show that fossil fuel companies knew this as far back as the 70's and spent billions and billions of dollars to spread false information that suggests otherwise.

Secondly, Obama promised $3 billion not just to any "some one to do something" as Mr. Willis suggests. That money is earmarked towards technological advances in clean-energy sources, such as solar and wind. For comparison, China has pledged $360 billion by 2020. Our $3 billion pledge seems like a drop in the bucket compared to other nations. We are also not obligated to contribute the remaining $2 billion if we decide not to. The Trump Administration could renegotiate any of the terms of our agreement at any time, for any reason. They are just choosing not to.

Third, to say that India and China are "some of the top polluters" is only correct if you leave out most of the context. If you look at each countries total emissions, the US is the largest polluter, China is the 3rd largest, and India is only the 8th largest. However, if you look at emissions PER CAPITA, (meaning per person) the US is the 13th largest offender at 19.77 tons per person. China is ranked the 84th worst offender at 4.58 tons per person. India comes in at #144, at only 1.16 tons per person.

The US is the largest offender of the 3 countries either way you look at it, so we SHOULD be contributing the most of the 3 countries. We have the most work to do!

The statement by Mr. Willis that "China and India, are not required to do anything for decades" was made by the EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt on an episode of Fox and Friends. Scott Pruitt, as you may or may not know, staffed the EPA not with environmental scientists or environmental policy experts, but largely with fossil fuel industry lobbyists and industry senior officials (the people that stand to gain the most from lax environmental laws). He has also rolled back more environmental protection laws in his first 9 months than in the last 47 years COMBINED. I guess what I'm trying to say is he is not a reliable source of information, and neither is the popular show "Fox and Friends." Anyway, the statement Mr. Pruitt made on Fox and Friends that India and China don't have any obligations for "decades" is false. Each country in the Paris Accord pledged to reduce carbon emissions by 2030. Both countries have already begun working towards that goal. China has cancelled plans for the construction of over 100 coal-powered plants, and both India and China are set to become the largest producers and investors of solar energy. India has pledged to use at least 40% renewable energy by the year 2030. That just doesn't happen overnight.
